Community Vision for Takoma (CVT) is an informal network of Takoma residents and nearby neighbors dedicated to Takoma Park’s progressive legacy and leadership, working to strengthen the transparency, accountability, and responsiveness of local government. We follow City government and politics closely, and advocate on City issues. Those issues have included preserving and expanding our affordable housing, protecting our City’s rent stabilization ordinance, maintaining our diversity, commitment to racial equity, preventing displacement and gentrification, engagement across socioeconomic and racial differences, public land use for the public good, living in harmony with the environment, addressing climate change, and City budget issues.

We live in an era fraught with disinformation which can be spread through social media to influence public opinion and obscure the truth. Our goal is to provide trusted information that can be useful for people wishing to work together to improve our community. We identify issues of public concern and provide an independent lens on City government through communications with our network. Our intention is to expand the number of informed residents who feel empowered to participate, individually and collectively, in the building of a strong community. To that end, we have created questionnaires for candidates in City elections, and made endorsements.
